If you're interested in helping out with one of the languages currently available or a language not yet available, send a mail to languages@simplemachines.org. Please add the language you wish to help with and in what way you wish to contribute.

I suspect this topic/project would benefit from 3 lists in the first post.1: Translations already done2: Translations in progress3: Translations not yet assigned a translator

I really like your suggestion and we're looking into getting the 'percentage completed' dynamically back to the language download page (it had been there for a short while). However I do feel translations are never really done. We can always use more people looking at the languages to check if there's something that still needs quality improvement.

And not only that, we also need more translators in order to keep up with the new translatable material that's being added regularly. Next to the updates to the forum software itself, we are planning to add the Simple Machines site content and the documentation as translatable content too.

So, the more translators (regardless of the language) are active, the faster things get translated and the higher the quality of the translations will be.

We need anyone knowing a non-english language and able to invest time in translating. Note that most of our language packages are not yet fully translated. There are of course a few people actively guarding any untranslated string to make sure it gets translated as soon as they get their hands on it, but since we have a lot of languages we need more of those people.

So if you're interested, follow the instructions of the first post, thanks
